Lurking somewhere within every tumor, some say, are a few stem cells that have lost their genetic marbles, so to speak - continuously supplying a malignant mass with cancerous cells. Stem cells are key to our normal development and health from conception through adulthood.

5 lip 2024 · Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small subset of cells in tumors that are characterized by self-renewal and continuous proliferation, lead to tumorigenesis, metastasis, and maintain tumor...
29 lis 2011 · Embryonic stem cells, cancer and genomic regulation. Embryonic stem (ES) cells are cultured cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst-stage embryo [1,2]. They exhibit two distinct properties: self-renewal, the ability to maintain a proliferative state without changes in cellular characteristics; and pluripotency, the capacity to ...
In this review, we present the history of the use of stem cells in different clinical applications. Furthermore, we discuss the various therapeutic options for stem cells in cancer, followed by the role of stem cells in the treatment of autoimmune disorders.
Stem cell-based therapies are defined as any treatment for a disease or a medical condition that fundamentally involves the use of any type of viable human stem cells including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), iPSCs and adult stem cells for autologous and allogeneic therapies (8).
5 paź 2022 · The most important cancer therapy is stem cell treatment and its role in curbing cancer. • Medical researchers hope that adult and embryonic stem cells will soon be able to treat many diseases, including cancer and type 1 diabetes, heart failure, and neurological diseases. •
10 mar 2011 · Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) share cellular and molecular phenotypes with tumour cells and cancer cell lines. When injected into immunodeficient mice, HESCs form teratomas.
